About the Item
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Jousting Scene: Armoured Knight and Striped Caparisoned Horse
This remarkable original hand-coloured lithograph, produced in 1842, is drawn from the esteemed publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, published by Carl Hoffmann in Stuttgart. Under the artistic direction of Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and the historical expertise of Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, the work aimed to authentically portray the customs, costumes, and grand ceremonies of Europe’s chivalric age.
In this particular scene, the intense moment of a joust is frozen in time. One knight, fully clad in articulated plate armor, is poised on a horse decorated in white caparison adorned with finely rendered birds, suggesting heraldic or symbolic significance. His lance, still held at the ready, points towards an adversary whose vibrant striped barding and elaborate plumes now lie collapsed on the tournament ground. The combination of bold colours—vivid reds, greens, yellows, and blues—applied by hand with meticulous care, conjures the spectacle and pageantry of a knightly encounter.
The condition of this lithograph is good, bearing only minor age-related toning and a gentle crease or two. Such authentic details affirm its 19th-century origin without detracting from the crispness of the image or the remarkable intensity of its colours. This piece will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts of medieval history, equestrian art, and historical costume. Adding this print to your collection not only offers a connection to the romanticized world of knights and tournaments, but also provides a stunning conversation piece that encapsulates the artistry and heritage of European chivalry.

Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Knight and Horse in Tournament Dress, 1842
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Knight and Horse in Tournament Dress
Description: This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph presents a fully armoured knight mounted on a similarly armoured horse, highlighting the grandeur of medieval tournament culture. Drawn from *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (1842) by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, the plate exemplifies the craftsmanship of tournament armor and equestrian regalia.
The knight is clad in articulated plate armor, intricately engraved and polished to perfection, reflecting the martial prowess and status of a noble warrior. He holds a ceremonial poleaxe, often seen in jousts or tournaments as both a practical weapon and a symbol of chivalry. His plumed helmet, adorned with vibrant red and yellow feathers, adds an element of spectacle befitting a medieval tournament.
The horse is draped in a richly patterned caparison, a cloth covering adorned with intricate geometric designs, likely symbolizing the knight's heraldic identity. The ornate horse armor...
